My, how my shopping list has changed!

Since many of us seem to share the same (ahem) bathroom issues, I just had to share this. 

I just made my shopping list for today and literally smiled as I came to the realization that I am spending an inordinate amount of time buying items designed on improving regularity.  I have never had to shop for these products.

But last week, I bought a big bottle of Colace, Milk of Magnesia, and a package of ground flax seed.  Today's grocery list now includes All Bran and prunes!   BRING IT ON!!! 

Agh!!  

Not that I'm complaining, mind you.  Just found it entertaining. 

Prunes certainly help keep the system running smoothly ... just sayin'!!!!

yep, so true.   my husband uses unsweetened coconut milk in his shakes for its natural laxitive effect. i am a flax seed/prunes user.    as you get farther along and can eat more raw veggies it  gets easier. diane

I need to buy some of that stuff. I use to poo everyday several times a day now I'm lucky if I go every 3 weeks

3 Colace a day and I am on track for every other day.  Love it!  I have Crohn's Disease, so regularity was never a blessing.  Many BM's daily most of the time.  I went to Chicago for the weekend, about a 4 hour drive one way for me and didn't have to stop, but once for a potty break.  Love the new convenience, that is for sure.  It did take a couple weeks of being VERY uncomfortable before I figured out the difference between a stool softener and a laxative.  All set now with just the stool softener, Colace.  Off brand from Walmart works great for me.

 Too funny!
